Thanks for keeping score! I wish I had taken more time with my replies to Byron_The_Aussie, I would have written them a little better, but he got my blood boiling. It's been a while since I had my buttons pushed like that. Normally I wouldn't even take the bait but Byron has been around this place for a while. He should know better.

Comparing us to Nazis because we want to see terrorist networks destroyed is a very low blow. It's ironic too, because the only reason Hitler and the Nazis were able to wreak so much havoc in the world was because good people sat around and did nothing to stop him until it was too late.

The events of 9/11 have given us a golden opportunity and the moral obligation to destroy terrorism before it is able to take hold and cause even more carnage. It means that we, the United States, must conduct unrestricted warfare against these terrorist groups and the nations who harbor them. We are beyond negotiations. We cannot afford to repeat the mistakes of Neville Chamberlain. There will be no "peace in our time" until we eliminate this terrorist scum from the earth. We should not attempt to appease these bastards or seek some sort of co-existence with them. We need to root them out, wherever they may go. We need to go to war against the nations that harbor them and must achieve total victory. The surrender of the nations harboring these terrorists must be unconditional. As the victors, we will have a responsibility to ensure that the conquered nations are able to rule themselves, and give them some help along the way, as we did with Germany and Japan in WW2. The long term payoff will be worth it. Look at how successful Germany and Japan are today!

The United States has nothing to be ashamed about. We conducted ourselves honorably after our victory in WW2 and have nothing to apologize for. We are conducting the present war against terrorism honorably and again, we have nothing to apologize for. Is this loud enough and clear enough for you Byron_The_Aussie?
